This invention relates to purses adapted to be attached to belts and readily be used as a bathing belt buckle or as a buckle for other belts or the like.

Another object of the invention-is to provide a purse of this nature with a cover or lid that can readily'be removed or inserted into the body or base portion of the purse and maintained therein in watertight condition.

Another object is to produce a device of the'character described in` which the maxi` mum simplicity tion is secured.

tion of parts herein fully` described,andil" lustrated in the` accompanying drawing,

whereinV similar reference characters areused j to describe corresponding parts throughout the several views, and then kfinally pointed out and specifically kdefined and indicated in the appended claims.

The disclosure made the basis of exemplifying the present inventive concept suggests a practical embodiment thereof, but the in-v vention is not to be restricted to the exact details ofthis disclosure, and the latter, therefore, is to be understood from an illustrative, rather than a restrictive standpoint.

The inventive idea involved-is capable of receiving a variety of mechanical expressions, one of which, for the purpose -of illustration, is shown drawing, in which belt purse. Y Figure 2 is a sectional'view on line 22 Figure 1. Y
